Been a long time since updates..
This is once I got my 9 inch in and the weld magnums all around
Now I have worked out how to use photo bucket again, here is the 9 inch I’m putting in. Should have axles by end of week, then put the brakes and wheels on and roll it under and weld the brackets on.

this is the 9 inch I’m putting in.
I have a video on my other phone, il try get it off there.
Was going to race at calder last Friday but was rained out, so will go next time.
A mate of mine did the manifolds for me, took a while but got there eventually. If inbuilt another one I’d just go to killaboost, his stuff looks really good and I didn’t like waiting.
Im running rb30 k frame with tuff mounts. Will have power steering eventually, I have the rack and am going to run Astra electric pump. At the moment it has a vl manual rack in it.
Didnt think a pump would fit with the turbo gear in the bay so left it off, could of probably made it work but don’t want to mess the bay up now.
Thanks for the reply mate!
Im hoping to be racing on the 7th as well so may see you there
So after going on a holiday I got the car out to finally put some km’s on it.
Box was slipping so pulled it out and didn’t take it back to the guy that built it after the drama I had with it in the first place. Ended up taking it to Paul Rogers, something I should of done to begin with. He basically rebuilt the whole box and found quite a few things wrong with it. It’s back in and driving better than ever. Going to buy some street slicks this week and hopefully within the month il get it down to Calder to see what it can do.
Is your radiator like a vl turbo one or larger?
What bottom hose did you use if you can remember.. Mine has a kink in it once it got warm and the shape changed so want to swap it to something that is the right shape.
Cheers

Hey mate, how much room do you have left under the rear?
Im trying to do the same but I have 15×9 with a 3 inch backspace. I’d like to get away with not tubbing the car as well.
Love the car too, when I was buying mine I wanted white but was too impatient!
Cheers
Justin
Once I fix my Photobucket il put the dyno video up.
It has a Vl turbo diff at the moment, I am going to just shorten one of these or put a 9 inch in. Have not decided as yet. Not sure I need the 9 inch really. I’m only going to race it a few times, it will be a street car 95% of the time so not sure it’s worth the extra $$
So all running now.
Problem with the box was the bloke that built it didn’t put a pipe in it so it didn’t have oil feeding somewhere.
Had it tuned a couple of weeks ago by Jason at Ls1pwr. Made 478kw at the wheels. Really happy with it.
Next is to get the rear tubs sorted so I can put my weld magnums on.
Have a little bit of tidying up to do on the inside just with wiring for gauges and stuff but will sort that out over the next couple of weeks.
Now have the engine running well, is abit loud so might put another muffler on it.
Tried to move the car and hit my next problem, will not select first gear. So I have pulled the box out and the bloke who built it is going to pull it down and see what’s going on. Hopefully I get it back quickly as the car is pretty much ready for a test drive.
Finally got a decent fabricator on board so have had some progress!
Really happy with the work done, was by havoc fabrication in keysborough. Did an awesome job and was quick too.
Got the car started, now I’m just trying to work out why it’s back firing so bad!
Il be getting manifolds ceramic coated and will powder coat the Intake pipes.
Want to keep the heat down and also make it look nice.
Yeah, I have always liked the look and have read the Holley manifold flows well, was debating whether to put one on because it would need to hang out of the bonnet but then this one came up cheap so I thought I would grab it. Will most likely put a reverse cowl on now.
Bought the rear wheels I want to put on last week, so now I need to mini tub the car. Went with weld magnum 15×9 and going to run either a 255/60 or a 275/50, will work it out once I pull the diff out.
